When using absolute path names, git will compare the path given with the
git work tree and any name that is referred through a symlink in that
will trigger a mismatch.

use relative paths (implemented below through an alias named "myadd") :
[alias]
myadd = "!sh -c 'cd `dirname \"$1\"` && git add `basename \"$1\"`' -"
so in your workflow you would use "myadd" instead of "add" to convert your
absolute paths (with symlinks) into relative paths
